Title: Shaved my head and now my baby cries when she see's me...
Post by: stratus on May 03, 2011, 04:09:44 PM
HI,

I'm brand new to this board. I finally took the plunge and shaved my head yesterday. It will definitely take some time to get used to; however, I like it.  On the other hand, my 11 month old baby girl looks terrified whenever I have my hat off...she starts to cry as if I'm really ugly or just some stranger.  I went from a thick/dark head of hair (fake...HCM) and now I have a white dome...all in a matter of minutes.  I'm sure she'll get over it and I'll be patient.  Nonetheless, it breaks my heart...plus, I can't stand wearing this baseball hat.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this? 

Thanks...

Make a game of having her feel your head... she'll get used it fairly fast I trust.

When my oldest daughter was about 2 I shaved a full beard that she hadn't ever seen me without--screamed bloody murder, but it calmed down when I talked with her quietly.  She accepted it within a week.

I'm sure she'll get used to it. It's not because you have a bald head of course, it's because you dramatically changed your appearance. Give it time..

Thanks guys,

Yeah, she calmed down quit a bit last night.  Nonetheless, I'm sure it will take her a little more time to get used to the dome.
